BMW GINA: a car with a fabric skin

-Check this out, now that's something exciting, finally somebody is doing a concept car that fight against the usual way of designing a car, YEs there is still 4 wheels, YEs there is still a steering wheel , but the outer skin is made of seamless polyurethane-coated Lycra fabric wrapped and tension by an aluminium skeleton underneath, looks great, feel fresh .
Yes it's just a concept car, but think about what it can imply , change the colour of you car easily, wash the skin of your car in the washing machine and so on...

Llama readers,
i was wondering if it could be interesting for me( and obviously for you) to publish a picture everyday as an inspiration , coming directly from my Mobile device, aka:iphone,
It could be anything, everything from a texture to a color, an object, a person or an animal.
Please let me know if this sound good to you via a comment.

Zamak is killing it...

-check out those Kick ass characters renderings, proportions are intriguing, gestures are great and colors are deep and soft , love it . IS there a toy on the way ? , well , i'll keep you posted on that .
